There are many like it, but this FN is mine

Just wanted to brag and give some praise where they are due. I have been working up into long range shooting and unfortunately didn't have a rig. Between here and /r/longrange I started looking at an FN from Mike at tactical coordination. I realized that it wasn't the fanciest hot rod caliber but seeing as the nut behind the gun was definitely the weakest point I figured that I needed the practice 308 ammo and a chrome lined barrel could offer. After messing around with it and getting a scope with a large objective I decided that it needed a little bit of personalization. So this was the progression (Link for if/when I screw up adding pictures Photo Album - Imgur ).

Cheek riser by stock doc aka Joe Ducos here on the hidefull.jpg

As for the praise, Joe did solid work on that cheek riser, its like its a different gun. If any would like the above link has more detailed photos of the stock work. Also, Mike was inexpensive, did exactly what I needed and got the muzzle brake installed in a week, unlike local gunsmiths who could either not work on an FN or would take 8 weeks minimum to thread the barrel. Couldn't have asked for anything more! I will update with groups after I get to take the thunderstick for a run
